The Square Model of Fano's 1892 Finite 3-Space
(2021)
This is a more detailed presentation of a model of PG(3,2) that first appeared as an abstract in 1979. See "Symmetry invariance in a diamond ring," by Steven H. Cullinane, Notices of the American Mathematical Society, pp. ...
Teaching Academic Honesty in CS50
(ACM, 2020-03)
We aspire to teach academic honesty in CS50 at Harvard University not only by addressing academic dishonesty when it occurs but by addressing it before it does. By way of communication, course- and campus-wide awareness ...
Robust decomposition of cell type mixtures in spatial transcriptomics
(SpringerNature, 2020-05-08)
Spatial transcriptomic technologies measure gene expression at increasing spatial resolution, approaching individual cells. However, a limitation of current technologies is that spatial measurements may contain contributions ...
Whole-Exome Imputation Within UK Biobank Powers Rare Coding Variant Association and Fine-Mapping Analyses
(Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, 2020-07-05)
Exome association studies to date have generally been underpowered to systematically evaluate the phenotypic impact of very rare coding variants. We leveraged extensive haplotype sharing between 49,960 exome-sequenced UK ...
Going Over the Cliff: MOOC Dropout Behavior at Chapter Transition
(Informa UK Limited, 2020-01-02)
Participants’ engagement in massive online open courses (MOOCs) is highly irregular and self-directed. It is well known in the field of television media that substantial parts of the audience tend to drop out at major ...
Astrocytic interleukin-3 programs microglia and limits Alzheimer’s disease
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-07-14)
Communication within the glial cell ecosystem is essential to neuronal and brain health1–3. The influence of glial cells on β-amyloid (Aβ) and neurofibrillary tau accumulation and clearance in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is ...
An Open-Source, API-Based Framework for Assessing the Correctness of Code in CS50
(ACM, 2020-06)
We present check50, an open-source, extensible tool for assessing the correctness of students’ code that provides a simple, functional framework for writing checks as well as an easy-to-use API that abstracts away common ...
Conceptualization of Health and Social Vulnerability of Marginalized Populations During Covid-19 Using Quantitative Scoring Approach
(Informa UK Limited, 2021-02-24)
Covid-19 is a global health emergency and a systemic human development crisis. Marginalized populations’ ability to respond tends to be low and associated impacts can be serious for already vulnerable communities. The virus ...
Precipitation Extremes Influence Patterns and Partitioning of Evapotranspiration and Transpiration in a Deciduous Boreal Larch Forest
(Elsevier BV, 2020-06)
High latitude boreal forests are experiencing dramatic changes in climate and hydrology. It is not clear how boreal forests will adapt to hydrological change or how stable they will be to extreme climate fluctuations and ...
Are Large-Scale Dams Environmentally Detrimental? Life-Cycle Environmental Consequences of Mega-Hydropower Plants in Myanmar
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-07-21)
Purpose: Rivers control biophysical processes that underpin essential ecosystem services. Myanmar’s rivers provide great opportunities for increasing energy supply at low costs from hydropower plants and make important ...
